Abstract
A pilot opening to the outside is formed at one side end of a package for a solid-state image-pickup device and a guide opening to the outside is formed at a side end opposite to and approximately in parallel with the one side end of the package. The pilot is made to face a pilot pin projecting above a circuit board and a guide pin is inserted into the guide. The solid-state image-pickup device is then fixed at a prescribed position on the circuit board after the pilot comes into contact with the pilot pin. With a solid-state-,image-pickup device and a mounting method thus provided, package size does not become large and mounting is carried out with an extremely high positioning precision.
